Would not return
We were so excited to take a weekend trip with our friends and their children on what could have been an annual holiday vacation. While the house itself has promise and the location was great, we would not rent here again. The house is old and not well cared for. When we checked in the basement door and half the windows were unlocked. The house hadn't been recently cleaned, the tubs were all clogged and coated in soap scum and the carpets are full of stains. One of the trundle beds in the bunk room had a huge yellow pee stain that looked like no one ever attempted to clean. They woudn't have been able to as there were no cleaning products in the house and we were left with only 3 trash bags for the whole weekend. We called the property manager after checking in to complain and he told us he'd be by first thing in the morning, only he never came by or called us back. After we checked out I reached out to both him and the owner, Ellen, to request a refund of the cleaning fee since the house had clearly not been cleaned. I'm still waiting to hear back from them a week later. Do yourself a favor and find somewhere else to stay.

Nice but somewhat dirty
The place was not clean and many things were falling apart. The shower curtains had mildew, the floors we dirty, cobwebs everywhere. The hand dish soap were both watered down so much that they were ineffective. The host tried to get me to pay $100 for HOA fee instead of $50. The pool and beach was NOT included and cost an additional fee person.

Family vacation
The property had a lot to offer. The layout was great for our family. The lake and the Clubhouse were fun and lively and we spent much of our time swimming and playing at the playgrounds. Deer were always out and about on the property and we enjoyed the wildlife. I hadn't realized that all of the amenities were an extra fee and the property was left a bit messy with wrappers and bottles left from a previois stay. Overall we enjoyed our stay. werw

Long weekend stay
The house had enough room for all of us which we appreciated. The view was amazing. The different playgrounds were very family friendly. A lot to do in the area. However, the tables were really dirty, sinks/showers were backed up, most of the dishes were clearly dirty. Before checking in the manager texted us saying it was for Airbnb but we booked with VRBO. Asking for more personal information then we were told we're needed originally. Ask for additional funds required us to send it a different way then we originally paid. We reached out to evolve who told us it was fraud and a scam. But then we got an email with managers contact and name and that matched. They made us pay and give information anyways. The pool was dangerously cold. We shared that with the worker who told us the air was just hot outside. We asked her to touch the water and to ask about the temperature. She claimed they can't check the temperature only maintenance and they were not there. So no way to know. They wouldn't refund even though we couldn't go in. We had infants and one of us was clearly pregnant so it was not safe. It had to be 60 degrees or colder. Then as we were leaving we could see they had turned the pool on. They lied to us and we shared that with the property owner since that is one of the big reasons we picked their house to stay in. He never responded to text from us. Then or during the trip in general. Overall it wasn't clean and very poor communication. Not a family friendly stay.

8th birthday trip
The house is super cute, pics made it look bigger but we loved the lay out of the home, it was very cozy . Wish my dogs had a bit more freedom. Community rules are a little too strict with certain things. We didn’t know we had to pay for pool passes & hours aren’t full days. We looked forward to the indoor fireplace being it rained one of the days, but we believe it doesn’t work. Overall it was a relaxing weekend with our family, the kids did not want to leave. communication with property manager was very quick and efficient.

Gouldsboro cabin
Nice big cabin to stay with family. Was fun for school age children with the fuseball table, air hockey & power hockey tables in the basement. Appreciated the towels for each room and clear check out instructions. Hot tub also made our stay enjoyable. When I had questions our host got back to us promptly as well. We stayed in April when it was a little rainy, but I’m sure during the summer and fall there would be more activities available to do locally.

Getting away
A very nice property and house in every way. A few small things needed attention but I did let property mgr. know-A shade was broken over air hockey table and this game did not work. Also, which I forgot to mention, the first floor bathroom tub was clogged up. But aside from that, everything was very clean and we felt so comfortable. Thank you. I would stay here again! Emily

Great place to stay!
My family and I really enjoyed staying at this house. It was clean and spacious and the game room was awesome! The fireplace wasn’t quite working right and we couldn’t find the tv remote for the game room but those things didn’t impact our holiday stay. I would definitely rent again and have already recommended the house to friends.
